Tribute to Professor Sandra Barnes

The African Studies Center at Penn honored its outgoing Director, Professor
Sandra Barnes, at a farewell party on November 30. Professor Barnes stepped
down as Director of African Studies as of September 1, 1998 (but continued
as acting Director until January 1, 1999).

Professor Barnes' boundless energy, enthusiasm, and exceptional vision
to develop a dynamic center for academic scholarship, teaching, and outreach
about Africa was brought to fruition under her direction. For example,
Professor Barnes developed an undergraduate major and minor for African
Studies in the School of Arts and Sciences, two certificate programs were
made available to graduate students, and four new study abroad programs
in Ghana, Senegal, Zimbabwe, and Kenya were developed during her directorship
of the Center.

During her tenure, African Studies was successful in application for
and receiving a number of important grants. In 1993 and 1996, the Center
received successive Title VI grants from the Department of Education to
develop a consortium of African Studies between Penn, Swarthmore, Haverford,
and Bryn Mawr Colleges. In 1997 the Center received funding from the National
Endowment for the Humanities to develop "Teaching and Learning about
Africa," a televised distance learning initiative in collaboration
with the Philadelphia School District to teach Swahili to K-12 students.

In 1997, Professor Barnes and Dr. Donald Silberberg, Professor of Neurology,
Sr. Associate Dean and Director of International Medical Programs of the
University of Pennsylvania Medical School, formed Africa Health Group,
initially funded by the Ford Foundation. The Africa Health Group will collaborate
with the Ministries of Health in Ghana and Zimbabwe to undertake research
and training endeavors to benefit children with

disabilities on the Continent.

In 1998, African Studies received funding for two additional initiatives:
one, "Careers in Africa Day, will take place this spring. The second,
a "Dual Intellectual Citizenship" program that will take place
in Dakar. On the Center's behalf, Professor Barnes joined with Penn's Linguistic
Data Consortium to produce dictionaries, lexicons, and teaching materials
for uncommonly taught African languages.

Beyond these programmatic and outreach initiatives, Professor Barnes
cultivated many other activities. For example, the African Studies website,
which began operating in 1993, has became the largest website on Africa
in the world. The African Studies Center and its consortium colleagues
presented the Sixth Annual African Studies Workshop last October. The workshop
has continued to expand under Dr. Barnes' leadership. This past

year, the workshop was attended by scholars from across the United
States. Each spring, graduate students present "Scholar for a Day,"
an all-day workshop presented by an important Africanist scholar.

Professor Barnes will be missed by the staff, colleagues, and students
at the African Studies Center. While the Center will continue to grow under
its new leadership, the Penn community has been extremely well served by
Professor Barnes' fine leadership.

A group of Penn Medical School and Arts and Sciences faculty, working
with some 25 counterparts in Zimbabwe and Ghana, have established a far-reaching
research and training program aimed at preventing and alleviating disabilities
among African children.

The tri-national program was launched at a series of meetings in November
at the University of Zimbabwe's Medical School in Harare and Ghana's Ministries
of Health and Social Welfare in Accra.

It is a distinctive program. Participants of the three countries are
committed to working toward developing an understanding of childhood disability
that is grounded in both scientific and cultural knowledge. Their aims
are to help alleviate many disabling childhood conditions, lessen the impact
on care givers and families, and improve the quality of life for disabled
children and the wider community.

Participants are equally committed to undertaking planning and cooperative
endeavors jointly and with full participation of each partner. Representatives
of Ghana attended meetings in Zimbabwe, and vice versa, and at least one
aspect of training, for Ghanaian rehabilitation experts, will be based
in Zimbabwe where experience and expertise is most developed.

At Penn it is hoped the program will lead to activities in which undergraduate
and graduate students can participate, and in which faculty can develop
research projects.

The children's disability initiative is an outgrowth of nearly three
years of work on the part of some 55 members of Penn's Africa Health Group--a
group of faculty, graduate students and administrative staff from eight
schools in the University with a wide range of interests in African health
issues. Penn faculty who attended the overseas meetings represented eight
departments in the School of Medicine (pediatrics, epidemiology, and neurology),
School of Arts and Sciences (population studies/sociology, anthropology,
history, history and sociology of science), and School of Social Work.
The overseas

conferences were funded by grants from the Ford Foundation and the Provost's
International Research Fund.

The African Health Group interest in children stems from the fact that
the causes, incidence, and prevalence of impairments that cause childhood
disability are largely undocumented in newly independent countries. Similarly,
the relationships between children's disabilities and their social and
cultural environments are little studied. Evidence suggests that as a result
of improving primary health care in developing countries, not only are
more children surviving, but among them the number of disabled children
is also increasing at a significant rate. The number born with, or who
develop disabilities, probably exceeds the prevalence of 12 to 18% as reported
in studies in the US. Yet children are the very future of sub-Saharan African
countries, especially given the problems posed by AIDS and increasing incidence
of malnutrition.

Most causes of children's disabilities are preventable. And thus the
Penn, Zimbabwe, and Ghana colleagues have taken steps toward organizing
a program designed to provide a better understanding of the factors involved
in improving the prevention, early detection, and intervention involved
in children's disabilities and in improving the rehabilitative services
provided to them.

Scholar For a Day - Spring 99

This academic year's Scholar for a Day event will be held in the Undergraduate
Lounge of Stitler Hall on Friday March 26th, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
We are honored to welcome Professor Johannes Fabian, Chair of "Cultural
Anthropology and Non-Western Sociology" at the University of Amsterdam,
the Netherlands.

Professor Fabian has published in many areas that range from sociolinguistics
to colonial history, epistemology and history of social science and the
study of folklore and performance. While the bulk of his work is focused
on francophone Africa, he has also done research on other parts of Africa,
as well as Europe and the United States. His many publications include
"Time and the Other: How Anthropology Makes its Object" (New
York: Columbia University Press), "Power and Performance: Ethnographic
Explorations through Proverbial Wisdom and Theater in Shaba" (Madison:
University of Wisconsin Press)--for which he won the Herskovits Award,
"Remembering the Present: Painting and Popular History in Zaire"
(Berkeley: University of California Press), and most recently "Moments
of Freedom: Popular Culture and Anthropology" (Charlottesville: University
Press of Virginia). He is also author or co-author of eight books and approximately
fifty articles in edited volumes and journals.

Since taking his degree from the University of Chicago, Professor Fabian
has held academic positions at Northwestern University, Universite Nationale
du Zaire, Wesleyan University, the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin,
Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, and the New School
for Social Research. He has also served on the editorial board, or as a
referee, of major Africanist and social science journals.

As in previous years, Scholar for a Day is arranged by graduate students.
Thus, this is an unparalleled opportunity to engage with a leading scholar
in African Studies. To participate in the event, or if you have questions,
please contact Niklas Hultin, Chair of the organizing committee, inhultin@sas.upenn.edu.

From the Desk of the Acting Director

As many of you already know, Professor Tukufu Zuberi (Antonio McDaniel)
from Penn's Department of Sociology has agreed to become the next director
of African Studies at Penn to replace Professor Sandra Barnes. Given that
he is currently on leave, however, and has a variety of commitments that
need to be completed, Professor Zuberi will assume his new duties on July
1, 1999. As a result, the Arts and Sciences deans have ask that I step
in as Acting Director for six months.

In addition, the Center's Assistant Director, Dr. Leigh Swigart, has
taken another position on campus. We wish her well in her new duties. As
a result, Dr. Alwiya Omar will become Acting Assistant Director while we
search for a replacement for Leigh, and Dr. Ahmed Shariff will become Acting
Language Coordinator.

Under the leadership of Professor Barnes, the African Studies Program
and Center have become impressive operations, with a wide range of activities.
We intend to see that they are maintained at peak levels while we prepare
for upcoming challenges and opportunities. We look forward to your support
as we work through this important transition period.

A belated Happy New Year.

Best regards,

Tom Callaghy

Acting Director and

Professor of Political Science

African Studies Opportunities and Programs

Careers in Africa

You are invited to attend our upcoming "Careers in Africa"
event on Friday, March 26, 1999 on the Penn campus. The event, organized
by the Penn African Studies Center with Ford Foundation funding, is designed
to expose undergraduate students to professional possibilities in and related
to Africa. We are asking practitioners from the fields of international
business, health, the foreign service, development, communications, and
human rights to speak about their work, training, and the practical steps
students can take to pursue that profession. Presentations will be short
- about 15 minutes - and there will be a question-and-answer period after
all the presenters have had a chance to speak. Students will also have
the opportunity to talk informally with presenters during the reception
that follows the event.

For minority students, "Careers in Africa" goes beyond the
March 26 presentations. Penn African Studies will sponsor the attendance
of 30 minority undergraduates from Delaware Valley institutions at this
event. Sponsorship will include transportation to and from the Penn campus,
dinner, and an invitation to African Studies' biannual African Language
and Culture Festival where they will meet their counterparts at Penn who
are already involved in the study of Africa. Sponsored students who attend
the event in 1999 will then be eligible to apply for four internships in
Africa for the summer of 2000. The internships will be structured so as
to be relevant to the successful candidates' interests and goals, especially
as developed during the intervening year. This "Careers in Africa"
initiative will be funded by the Ford Foundation for three years, after
which we hope to institutionalize it as part of the African Studies Center's
annual program.

University of Pennsylvania

2-4 PM: Panel presentations and questions

Foreign Language and Areas Studies (FLAS) Fellowships are being
offered to Penn graduate students in SAS, the School of Medicine, and the
professional schools to study an African language. Students must be U.S.
citizens or permanent residents. The fellowships will pay full course tuition
and a $10,000 stipend. Application deadline: February 5, 1999

Eligible languages are Swahili, Yoruba, Amharic, and Arabic (if the
student is preparing for research or work in sub-Saharan Africa). The study
of other African languages may be approved on a case-by-case basis by the
Department of Education.

Recipients will be chosen on the basis of:

- the ability to perform well as demonstrated by grade point average.

- the recommendations of faculty.

- the need for language training to realize research and career goals.

- the seriousness with which a student's area studies courses are integrated
with language training.

High priority will be given to students:

- who still have course requirements to fulfill and who can thus benefit
from tuition benefits.

- who are working toward high levels of proficiency and demonstrate
satisfactory proficiency as they progress from one language level to another.

- whose performance in other courses meets high standards.

- who combine professional school with language and international training.

Consideration will not be given to students:

- who have reached a fluency equivalent to that of an educated native
speaker in the language for which an award is sought.

African Studies Prizes. The AFRICAN STUDIES CENTER is pleased
to bring to your attention two prizes that are awarded annually to honor
excellence in undergraduate student work in African humanities and social
sciences.

Research Report

A Buzz with the Power to Drive an Economy: Black Economic
Empowerment in South Africa, 1998

Paul Bergman

Feel it in the air, feel it in your blood, feel it in your heart. No
matter how one looks at it, post-apartheid South Africa is in the midst
of socioeconomic change that few societies can boast to have ever experienced.
Although South Africa is now a democratic nation, over 300 years of racial
oppression has left South Africa's black majority (Africans, Coloureds,
Asians) in a deep socioeconomic hole. For most black South Africans, conditions
of life in a democratic South Africa are but a small step, if that, above
life under the reigns of apartheid.

From May 10 to June 15, 1998, I conducted field research in South Africa
under the guidance and support of Dr. Edward B. Shils, Founder of the Center
of Entrepreneurial Studies at Wharton, and Professor Sandra Barnes, then
director of Penn's African Studies Department. After five weeks of discussion
with over thirty members of South Africa's business and academic community
from a wide range of occupational and ethnic backgrounds, I left South
Africa highly optimistic that the `upliftment' of black South Africa, an
extremely difficult task, would occur.

However, socioeconomic upliftment is only possible through a high level
of economic growth, something that South Africa lacked throughout 1998
and in all likelihood will struggle to achieve in 1999. If visions of upliftment
are to become reality, the South African economy must accordingly grow
and create jobs. Thus, the South African government's goal is not upliftment
alone, but the combination of growth, employment and redistribution of
wealth to the previously disadvantaged, through the national strategy of
GEAR. GEAR calls for a GDP growth rate of six percent per annum and job
creation of 400,000 per annum by the turn of the century.

And so my task was to discover just how GEAR could be achieved. Fortunately,
the solution to GEAR struck me head-on, the moment I arrived in South Africa.
The solution was and remains Black Economic Empowerment (BEE). Unfortunately,
for me, BEE is such a potent, controversial, and ambiguous concept that
developing the concept into a truly practical method of economic growth
and socioeconomic upliftment proved a mighty challenge. Nonetheless, by
dividing BEE into three models, I attempted to prove that within BEE lie
both the obstacles and solution to an auspicious South African future.

The first model is BEE in South Africa's large public sector, which
accounts for over a third of South Africa's GDP. Here I call for a veritable
and well-planned joint strategy between government and business, which
begins, and indeed has already begun, with a strong privatization initiative
by the South African government with a short to medium term goal of placing
all government-owned enterprise in private hands. The government will benefit
through a dramatic reduction in the managerial burdens of a large public
sector and the financial burdens of state debt. Likewise, the South African
economy will benefit from the reduction in the burden of inefficiency.
Previously disadvantaged individuals will be incorporated into privatized
enterprises as owners, managers and employees allowing for some redistribution
of wealth. Economic growth and employment opportunities as a result of
BEE in the public sector, however, will be limited. Rather than spark growth,
privatization will prevent decline.

Second is the corporate model of BEE. As the grip by the hands of affirmative
action on corporate South Africa continues to grow tighter, the pockets
of black South African market grow deeper, and the minds and business acumen
of black South Africans expand, black management and ownership will turn
from a choice to a necessity. If corporate South Africa is to grow and
accordingly promote the achievement of GEAR, South Africa's large corporations
must capitalize on the growing black consumer market and maximize the potential,
both latent and evident, of South Africa's black business people.

Last and most importantly is the third model of BEE, which takes place
at the small business level. To achieve small business capacity, South
Africa must first create an enabling environment for the development of
small business. An enabling education system must emphasize skill development,
business success and entrepreneurship. An enabling banking system must
recognize the social and self-profits of providing financial services to
all South Africans. And an enabling government must see value rather than
danger in tendering contracts to small businesses. Small business development
will translate almost directly into national economic development and prosperity
for South Africa and its people.

During the Fall 1998 semester Penn was fortunate enough to have two
ANC government officials, Ketso Gordhan and Moss Ngoasheng, who chose to
leave their posts in South Africa to study for a semester at Wharton. I
was all too anxious to speak with them to learn how BEE had progressed
in South Africa over barely six months, and to hear what they thought of
my researched recommendations. Both Mr. Ghordan and Mr. Ngoasheng verified
what I knew would be the case right from the beginning. For you see, BEE
is a process that has moved and changed so rapidly that all I was able
to do in my research was to step on the brakes for a moment. To capture
an updated picture of BEE in South Africa might require another five weeks
of discussion and research. Nonetheless, South Africa still strives towards
the day when BEE is no longer a buzz of excitement, but a buzz of fulfillment.

Media Workshop: A Success

In November 20th, 1998, the African Studies Center hosted a workshop
entitled: "Reporting Africa: African News Coverage in the US Mass
Media" The main objectives of the workshop which was organized by
the Outreach office are: provide an understanding about the complexities
and variations in African cultures and polities; create a forum for media
personnel to share and to discuss their views about Africa and how they
cover it; discuss effective ways of reporting about Africa and how to eliminate
preconception in reporting about Africa; and introduce the African Studies
Center as an appropriate resource for information about Africa and as a
potential source for future contacts. The workshop was attended by more
than sixty participants including media practitioners in the Delaware Valley,
faculty members from local colleges and universities, and the general public.
